INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked lentils (100g)
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (125g)
300g silken tofu
2 cups fresh spinach (60g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1 small diced onion (70g)
2 cloves minced garlic (6g)
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (5g)
1/2 teaspoon olive oil (2.5g)
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.
Stir in the cooked lentils and chickpeas, allowing them to warm through and absorb the flavors.
Gently add the diced tomatoes and a splash of water if needed to create a light broth. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Carefully fold in the silken tofu by breaking it into large chunks, being cautious not to mash it completely.
Incorporate the fresh spinach and sprinkle in the nutritional yeast. Continue to simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the spinach wilts and the flavors meld.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired. Serve the stew warm, and enjoy this nourishing, protein-rich vegetarian meal.
